The profit p ( in hundreds of dollars ) that a company makes depends on the expenditure x ( in hundreds of dollars ) that the company spends advertising according to the model p(x) = -0.5x^2 +20x+230. What expenditure for advertising will yield maximum profit?

Expenditure x (in hundreds of dollars) = $2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Profit p (in hundreds of dollars)

Expenditure x (in hundreds of dollars)

p(x) = -0.5x² + 20x + 23

Find:

Expenditure for advertising .

Computation:

x = -(Cofficient of x) / 2(Cofficient of x²)

x = -(20) / 2(-0.5)

x =  20

Expenditure x (in hundreds of dollars) = 20 × $100

Expenditure x (in hundreds of dollars) = $2,000

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.
